And so another year has passed. How was 2011 for you? Did you get your game on, or are you drowning in the pile? If the answer to that question is more likely to be the second response, welcome, you are amongst friends.

Following on from the thread we ran in 2011, I am happy to give birth to the 12 month plan for 2012. For those of us not worried about the impending month of prophesied armageddon, this will be a loving, supportive home for the long term, repeat offenders of piledom.

As before, with the help of this thread, we will be committing to a reduction in what has now become our mountains of shame. This thread is designed to support those who need it, and complement Hemidal's awesome efforts in the regular, monthly, pile of shame threads.

It is recommended, but not enforced, that you get yourself over to the backloggery and set yourself up an account. If that all seems too hard, and you are serious about making this 12 month thing a commitment, send me a PM with your lists, and I will happily enter the details in for you. It is recommended you do it yourself, as some of us have found that particular exercise to be part of the process in reducing 'pile'. I know personally, entering in all 126 XBLA titles I had bought stopped me from checking the DotW threads for those particular must have purchases…

New this year is the creation of the Pile Charter. This is going to be based on a combination of , and Clockwork's Addendum. I have posted these in the first post of this thread. If you guys want to hash out the finer details of these, I think we can really get a good set of guiding principles for 12 month pile progress.

As we get this finalised, and agreed on, I will then add it to this OP, and remove all of this speculative gunk.

2012, we're coming for you!

Hemidal's Law:Anything that can be added to the pile will be added to the pile.

I love the pile of shame threads, but I'm contemplating starting a support group of sorts that goes hand-in-hand with it.

It would comprise of 4 parts:
1. Listing the games in our collections that we want to finish.
2. Looking forward to the game releases for the year/months ahead and taking note of the games that we're going to buy and at what price.
3. Looking behind to the previously released games and take notes of the games we're going to buy and at what price.
4. Committing to certain games via and making sure we take part in the Pile of Shame threads.

Clockwork's Addendum (alternatively known as the remedy for recurring transgressions). Amend where needed for your own demons

I will not buy any games except what's on The List until the unfinished portion of my collection is at or below 25%.

Addendum A: I will not sell any game from my pile until I've completed it or have determined that I couldn't possibly drag myself through the rest.

Addendum B: I will sure as sin not buy any more JRPGs until I've finished the seven that I already own or am borrowing.

Addendum C: Any new Metroid games announced will automatically be added to The List. Likewise, a North American release of Xenoblade Chronicles will be added.

Addendum D: Exceptions may be granted for Windows Phone 7 and/or 3DS games provided that I've beaten and/or completed the games I already own. I don't really have piles for those platforms and don't want to punish them for my Xbox Live Arcade-related indiscretions.

Addendum E: I should really stop reading the deals thread.

Addendum F: As I won't be buying games that aren't on The List, I won't shop for games online or in stores. Not even "just to browse" as that way lies madness.

But remember Minarchist's musings...

Tackling the pile is a good thing, but taken to the extreme it can impede fun.

I've edited in times from howlongtobeat. Mostly going for full completion, and just taking the average, so hopefully most of these will be shorter. Also estimating when there are not enough or no data points for games.

2011 and Prior Releases I will be purchasing and at what price - list of releases These are the games I will restrict myself to when the buying urge comes upon me, and for lower prices than I normally would purchase (unless digital). I will not necessarily buy all of these games.

The Witcher 2 (PC) - $20 or less

Driver: San Francisco (360) - $20 or less

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (360) - $25 or less

Forza 4 (360) - $30 or less

Saint's Row the Third (360) - $20 or less

Orcs Must Die! (PC) - $5 or less [color=blue]Purchased for $3.74[/color]

Rocksmith (360) - $40 or less

Bastion (XBLA) - $7.50 or less [color=blue]Purchased for $7.50 on the nose[/color]

Status: 2 of 8 (25%)

Side Goals

Finish up achievements in Prototype, Viva Pinata, all three Rock Band games I own, PGR3, Fable II :mrgreen:, Borderlands, The Maw, Ilomilo, NIER, Banjo Kazooie, and a few other games that I haven't quite polished off.

Focus on the 360 enough to support my team for as long as we're in the GTASC

Finally reach that elusive 90% completion at TA after hitting 88.9% so many times.

[color=red]Stay the hell away from a PSP, Vita, and 3DS[/color]. I want them so badly, but a whole new platform is opening up a can of worms I don't need to deal with right now.

plop anything gained from burning down points on Goozex to the rear of the queue, excepting Alice: Madness Returns.

Time permitting, get further into the three Atlus JRPGs I have looming over me on the PS2: Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2, and Nocturne.

I, Minarchist, solemnly pledge to remain incredibly awesome just like I am now. Also, to take part in the Pile of Shame monthly threads. Even if it is just for one game, I will put forth effort to clear my ever-growing pile, one game at a time.

I also pledge to do everything within my ability to restrict my game purchases to those that I've listed, and, if I should falter, will shamefully add them to the pile in full sight of this support group.

Alright, here's my list of games I own that I am going to get through by the end of the year. They are ones that should warrant me giving up my Gamer Card if I didn't complete them. This is all keeping in mind that I am planning on not buying any games until calendar year 2013 -- which as previously stated, I will need your emotion support with. Today is Day One. I imagine The Shakes and Sweats will be coming a little bit later.

I bought and finished VVVVVV on 3DS yesterday, so that's a wash. Considering selling my 360 and its pile after GTASC is done. We'll see.

I guess that is one quite drastic way to reduce the pile.

I threaten to sell my 360 at least twice a year. I'm actually pretty serious about it this time, but, like I said, we'll see.

I guess the obvious follow up is Why?

The short version, without all the navel-gazing, is that I think I'd be happier playing fewer games on just one console than having a huge pile for multiple consoles. Thinking about it, my 360 has fewer upcoming games I'm interested and fewer past games I want to hang on to, so it gets cut.

Obviously a pretty drastic decision, but it's one I've been thinking about for a good long while.

Sounds similar to my situation, I bought a PS3 to go with my 360 back in college, because well...I played a crap load of games.

After getting a real job and doing grad school at the same time I couldn't really devote the necessary time to two consoles and the PC, so I was heavily considering selling my 360...and then...

...it red ringed. So I the only decision I had to make was to not buy another one.

My resolve will be tested when Halo 4 hits...I am a huge Halo fan but I am hoping I can hold out to whatever comes after the 360

Alan Wake (PC) - Probably will wait for a sale but I'm very interested

Bioshock Infinite (PS3 or PC) - If it comes out in 2012 and goes on sale for cheap enough

South Park: The Game - Depends on reviews

Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii) - This is a tough one since it probably won't be a widespread release and the price might not drop much.

I'm going to do mine a little differently this year. Listing specifics made me hanker for those not on the list last year and I suffered a little pile paralysis because of it. Full list within Backloggery (link in sig) but for now, I'm going with simple to start. I will need to tweak some of these, as I need to add in a few last minute purchases prior to Jan 1, and also a few Steam gifts I received. I also need to decide what iOS games I'm actually going to play, and which ones I downloaded just because they were on special for that day.

My 2011 efforts to make a dent in the pile were somewhat successful, but I went back on my pledge too often. I hope this year to focus more on the games that I want to complete and clearly define what new games I want to buy. I resolve that 2012 will be a better year for pile clearing than 2011 was.

As I am starting part-time graduate school, I imagine my gaming time will dwindle, but I hope to avoid buying new games outside of what I’ve listed below. I also know that I’ve listed a lot of longer games and fewer shorter ones, which could be a problem, but these are games that I want to experience.

I've also added my entire collection into my Backloggery and will be making some edits for Wishlist and other items. My Backloggery

I also pledge to do everything within my ability to restrict my game purchases to those that I've listed, and, if I should falter, will shamefully add them to the pile in full sight of this support group.

In addition, I’d like to put the following purchase controlled in place:

Avoidance of Steam Sales, both major sales and daily deals

Avoidance of the Deals Thread to avoid additional pile adding

Not restarting my GameFly account, no matter what deals they offer me to return

Although I checked it every day of the Steam sale but two, I only picked up the DE:HR DLC and Limbo. Was quite happy with not having added to the pile more than 5h, but then I got home and saw that various friends had gifted me Witcher 1, Fallout NV, Orcs Must Die, Machinarium and SPAZ. Good thing that I can leave those in the gifts and guest passes inventory for now, so they don't show up in my library.

Since I was on vacation over the holidays, I only managed to get 1 hour of gaming in (Chrono Trigger DS). The Kindle Touch I got as an early Christmas present may have played a certain role as well. Oh well, time to look at the pile and commit to something for January.

I also added the unwritten rule I've been trying to stick to for the last 3-4 months as the second paragraph of my pledge:In addition, I will only purchase games older than 3 months under the following condition: for every 2 pile games finished, 1 new pile game may be added.

I'll update this tonight when I get home. I'm going to work on the Steam backlog (271 games or so, the bulk of which aren't finished) this year. I'm not going to purchase anything in 2012 myself. I'm getting one game a quarter form the wife and daughter and then Father's day, birthday and Christmas, but no spending on myself. I almost didn't make it past January 1 (really thought about picking up Skyrim on Steam on the repeat sale day).

I will be strong this year!

Abandoned Fusion: Sentient, added and beat VVVVVV, and tweaked a bit of my wishlist and the like.

My plan at this point is to play through the 360 games mentioned in my "most want" section and then sell my 360 for a Roku player and cash toward a WiiU.

It the Great True Achievements Score Chase. A few of us in this thread, also frequent to the GWJ True Achievement thread. We boost together, and such, but this year we managed to get two teams into the event. It's a knockout event, the two lowest scoring teams removed every week, out of a field of 100. Goes for about 40 weeks, and we are goign to see how far we can get (for fun, honest).

I am using that as a motivator for getting through a LOT of my 360 backlog. The more I play, the more Gamerscore I collect, the better we place in the competion. Playing more, reduces pile. It's a win win for me (almost about to knock off my second 360 game for the year, and it's only 4 days in).

Hope that clears it up (and if you do any 360 gaming, you should join us too).

You still have to play Catherine. Whether you buy it or I loan it to you, that comes first.

...at least it's not very long. :-)

I plan to. And I expect that I'll take long enough on the pile to get XCOM, although I'll probably miss Metal Gear Rising and Bioshock Infinite. I'm more excited for a Jordan Thomas game than a Ken Levine game, anyway, though.

Hard to say. I have a soft spot for side scrollers, and the patterns of the bullets are starting to be remembered, which is scary. The ones I am picking off, don't seem that hard to me, but the ones with the HUGE TA ratios are well deserved. All areas without a continue would be a brutal task, and those numbers reflect it. I think that's why I defined what would count as 'completed' in Hemi's thread. 1K in that will be tough. Not sure if I will cover them for the GTASC period, but I certainly want to give them a crack when I can hone in on just that title.

It's a game I will not be trading.
